Are you a parrot or something? Seriously! If you cannot comprehend what someone is saying, don't just assume the attack position. Did I say I hit kids? Did I say I'm encouraging people to hit their kids or that it is okay? Read and understand then talk. You don't have to accuse people to look like you are on the right side of things. Explain your point, share your opinion and LISTEN!! or just stop talking and listening all together. I said she knew she was wrong, she tried to fix it immediately after realizing. I'm mostly sure that you are both still teenagers, because only teens (or immature adults) think parents should be perfect (which is not possible by the way). The first thing you realize when you step into adulthood is that parents are humans too, they make mistakes, but a good parent tries to do their best for their children which the character of the mother here clearly does, bad parents do it for themselves or do nothing at all.

I hope you don't have kids either. ^^
Since we are already judging each other without knowing each other, you seem like the person who would leave them in a heartbeat if it got too hard for you. Family doesn't mean anything to you. Don't worry, it's just that you still have so much to learn about life. Let's talk when you are an adult. You already seem to be struggling to make a valid argument, so you resorted to such a childish display of disagreement.

I'm sorry, but Mijoo's issue wasn't one sided. It's not like he forced her to do anything she was unwilling to do, it's her choice thus her responsibility. Now we are blaming the kids too for her bad choices? She had the choice of waiting to get married, she just chose not to do so. Kang Ho never knew about the kids, he may have made other choices if he did. She is alone responsible for the kids she gave birth to without notifying the father. Her kids weren't even liabilities, she left them with her mother and she was the one who lost the money, they didn't do anything wrong or cause any trouble for her.
You should really consider googling what a sociopath is, because at least in the latest episode it was revealed that Kang Ho is as far as it could be from being labeled a sociopath.
I never said hitting your children is okay, but it was a common way of disciplining children at that time, she thought it was the right way, and now she regretted it, that is what a good parent would do, they make mistakes but try to fix them, so I wouldn't at all label her as a bad parent, since she did it for her son's benefit. Literally no one in the world would tell you what is good parenting because no one knows. People who are too lenient produce spoiled dependent children, people who are too strict produce children with mental illnesses, and no one knows (even experts) where the line between them is drawn.

Mijoo had a hard childhood too, she wasn't as spoiled as Sam Shik, but either way, she has nothing to be proud of, she is a young single mother with two children born out of wedlock who lost all her money to her "friend", got buried in debt, and ended up returning to her mother who already was raising her grandchildren to ask for financial support. I don't think anyone implied that if you don't have a strict mother you turn out to be a bad person, Kang Ho didn't turn out to be a bad person either, and neither is Sam Shik, but you can't deny that being strict helped Kang Ho become a successful person, that doesn't apply to either Sam Shik or Mijoo.

Living without a family/mother is too high of a price to pay for a mere fake prize and a doodle. I think you would be losing much more by cutting off your family just because they don't support your "useless" hobbies, she is his only family after all, and I know there are a lot of people who make a living by painting, but you must have a huge net (of support) to fall back on when you fail pursuing that hobby as a career, which he clearly didn't have, otherwise you are most likely to end up a poor person with a hard life. Someone had to knock some sense into him.

I don't think she was that bad even without "the nuggets of evidence of good intentions". I don't know why you are all exaggerating how bad she was as a mother. She was merely a typical strict mother who obviously wanted what was good for her son. Even without evidence, she made it clear that she wanted him to succeed in life to live better. He wasn't born with a silver spoon in his mouth, so not studying would've been really bad for him.

Yeah, but it's not supposed to be realistic. A plan in a fictional piece is as good as its result. I wouldn't do it in real life, but I get where she was coming from in the drama, it would've been cruel only if it didn't work, but since it did, the character wasn't wrong, they are fictional people after all.

It worked, didn't it?

Is that an excuse? XD
You lose control over yourself when it's too hot?
That was the silliest excuse for cheating I've ever heard. If it was too cold I would've been more understanding, but since when people fight heat by having sex?
Whether they were young or not, being cheated on isn't an easy thing to deal with, and I'm sure Dr. Cha will find out how it feels soon. Being angry at someone for stealing the love of your life doesn't make you a bad person, it's only natural, especially since he makes it seems like he was hers from the start by continuing his relationship with her even after he got married. From her point of view, he never was "not hers", and Dr. Cha was always the villain who separated them.

Dr. Cha stole her boyfriend from her, that alone makes praying for her death justified, at least in my opinion.

I can't recall an incident where gaslighting was involved, but either way, If you have signs of cancer, it doesn't mean you have cancer. These are all things that happen at the end of a relationship, when one of the parties lose interest in the other, they neglect them, it can also happen when one is extremely busy or ill or think that the other person is a drama queen. Lying is something most people do, especially cheaters, even nice people lie to their partners about the way they look and how it's great or whatever. The fact that he is lying about having an affair is actually a humane thing, doing it publicly and letting her "just deal with it" is what an abusive person would do. "Belittling" in the form of facts isn't abuse, which is what was happening in this drama, he didn't mock her, he just told her that he thinks she can't do it, and the odds were in fact against her, so he genuinely thought she can't. That wasn't belittling, that is just him being unsupportive or negative. I'm not saying he is a good guy, he is a selfish cheater and a bad husband/father but he is not abusive. You can't call every bad relationship an abusive one, just because there were some signs that matches an abusive relationship, just like you can't say you have cancer just because you have some signs of it.

People die too in this drama. LOL

I agree with you, I felt sorry for the mistress when they revealed that she was the first woman he cheated on, and I felt bad for her later on because she didn't seem to know how to move on. I thought it was heartbreaking how pathetic she made herself chasing a man who cheated on her and married someone else.
I also agree about the abuse part, some people can't tell the difference between an abusive relationship and a bad relationship. Her husband is a piece of sh*t and their relationship was very bad but he didn't abuse her, not physically or emotionally, she thought it was her job to do everything for everyone and turned herself into a pushover. I find her very relatable and I feel bad for her, but she has more to blame for what happened to her than nothing.

This is only a theory but I think it's to make it more appealing and unique. "Bad Mother" is too generic for English speaking viewers. However, The Good Bad Mother makes you wonder how is she good and bad at the same time, so you end up watching it to find out. Koreans don't need an intriguing title to watch a drama. They have all the info they need about a drama before it airs, cast, crew, plot, broadcasting channel..etc. That is why they often choose very simple, generic, and easy to remember titles for the drama but end up changing their English title.

You realize they raise them for their meat, don't you? or else what is the point of having them in the first place? Pigs are useless while alive (and to many even when they are dead), unlike cows, sheep and every other farm animal. How do you think they are making a living? They are definitely not their pets.

I know she was improving as an actress, but the award isn't for "who improved the most". A nomination on its own is rewarding enough. Maybe she will get it next time when she outdo her peers.

I don't have an opinion on who deserves the award, I just assume that everyone who got their awards deserves them. It's an awful thing to work hard and get an award just to hear people say you "stole" it.

What an aggressive way of sharing your opinion. If you want my honest aggressive opinion, Suzy has never been a good actress, let alone "best actress". Everyone who got an award deserved it. Suzy can't be entitled to every award in the world just because you like her, especially since she is barely an actress.

Finally! Kim Nam Joo is coming back with a drama!!

I was waiting for her to come back!! I missed her so much. I would watch anything with her in it!
